Angular Cli和Angular 2

Question

I want to use angular 2 in my project (note angular 4 is not approved in my company yet so can't use it). Also, want to use Angular-CLI to generate and create angular code. At the moment, angular-cli by default uses angular4 and I don't want that. Is it possible to use angular-cli to install angluar2 version?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Of course, you can, but you will have to work with one of the latest betas of angular-cli.

As far as I see you could use angular-cli v1.0.0-beta.32 which will install 2.4

https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/tree/v1.0.0-beta.32

Answer 2

For installation steps use windows PowerShell (Run as admin) than normal command prompt to avoid permission issues.

o Node install • Make sure you have updated node installed .At least 6.1.If yes ,skip this step. If no please download latest from https://nodejs.org/en/ • After installation check node version node -v. And it should be 6.1 at least

o Npm upgrade • After node installed check npm version npm -v • At least 4.4 should be present .If yes ,skip this step. If no please upgrade it using below commands and select 4.4 from the menu

 Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force  npm install --global --production npm-windows-upgrade  npm-windows-upgrade

• Now check version npm -v . It should be 4.4 now

o Angular CLI set up • Once npm is ready then install angular CLI using below command  npm -g install angular-cli@latest (installing globally .So no need to point any folder in cmd prompt) • If u have already installed angular CLI .please run below command to get updated version .

 npm uninstall -g angular-cli  npm cache clean  npm install -g angular-cli@latest

• Once done please check angular cli version using ng -v . At least 1.0.0-beta.24 should be present.

• App creation We can create app using command prompt and IDE's. Currently Intellij supporting angular CLI to create angular 2 app. So for other domain developers we have to go with command prompt .

o Create angular 2 app (Command prompt) • Create some brand new project folder in your system .That will be treated as your project folder • Point to that in windows normal command prompt (No need of PowerShell). • Run this command ng init. Will take good time to complete. Make sure you are pointed to your project folder before run this cmd. • It will create project structure and download all the basic dependencies to run the angular 2 app. • After project creation run ng serve to run the application . o Create angular 2 app (Intellij) • Add angular CLI plugin to your Intellij • File -> new ->static web-> Angular CLI . This will run the above mentioned commands to create angular 2 app
